My February Goals

It's February 1st and I have a list of plans that I want to accomplish this month.

1) Enter the Grand Beginnings Contest. This contest is for the first five pages of a romance novel. Five pages happens to be the entire first chapter of Erin's Rebel.I got a little ahead and have already mailed the entry out.

2) Finish my revision of Erin's Rebel. As of today, I've got about 14 chapters left to revise. I should be able to finish up before the month ends.

3) Start first draft of Katie Rose. I'm a little behind on this one. I still have to make revisions to the outline. I want to get that done before I start the first draft to avoid having to go back and do another major revision like I did with Erin's Rebel. I think my goal for this month will be to finish revising the outline.

4) Begin world-building for Futuristic trilogy.I'm hoping to at least get a start on this, but it will depend on how the outline revision of Katie Rose goes.

About Me

I've been writing toward publication since 1995 and have five releases out from The Wild Rose Press. My stories of romance and adventure are set during the American Civil War, some with a paranormal twist. I'm a member of Romance Writers of America, as well as the Hearts Through History and Futuristic, Fantasy & Paranormal chapters of RWA. I was also a Civil War civilian reenactor with the 28th Pennsylvania Regiment, based in Philadelphia, for many years.
